What is ACES?
- Automated vehicles are self-driving or driverless vehicles that operate with little or no human intervention.
- Connected vehicles are equipped with technology that allows them to communicate with other vehicles, infrastructure, other road users, and devices, enabling real-time data sharing and coordinated decision-making.
- Electric vehicles are powered by electricity stored in batteries, rather than gasoline or diesel fuel, resulting in reduced emissions and improved environmental sustainability.
- Shared vehicles are vehicles that are owned, maintained, and used by multiple users, rather than being owned by a single individual or organization. This can include car-sharing services, ride-sharing services, and other forms of shared mobility.
